 '''Helmenland''' ({{wp|Finnish language|Helmish}}: ''Helmenmaa''), officially the '''Republic of Helmenland''' ({{wp|Finnish language|Helmish}}: ''Helmenmaan tasavalta''), is a {{wp|Sovereign state|sovereign state}} in eastern [[Elia Austral]]. The nation shares a land border with [[X]] to the northeast, and maritime borders with [[Nadauro]] and [[X]] to the southeast and south respectively. The [[Medan Ocean]] runs along its northern and western coasts, while the [[Helmish Gulf]] lies to the southeast.  Helmenland's capital and largest city is [[Matinlinna]], with other major cities including [[Kirkasvesi]], [[Avai]], [[Uusiranta]], and [[Kalfunao]].  With a population of approximately 80 million and spanning an area of 2,536,333 square kilometers, Helmenland is the Xth most populous and Xth largest state in [[Teleon]].
-{{wp|Indigenous peoples of South America|Indigenous !Americans}} began to settle continental Helmenland at least 12,000 years ago.  [[Matti Kapanen]] became the first [[!Europe|!European]] to explore the region in 1504, claiming it for [[X]].  Xian colonists established extensive {{wp|Sugarcane|sugarcane}} plantations in Helmenland throughout the 17th century, leading to the formation of an aristocratic class of wealthy landowners.  [[X]] annexed the colony during the [[X]] and began a process of [[X in Helmenland|X]], alienating the Helmish aristocracy and leading to the [[Helmish War of Independence]] in 1771.  After eleven years of war, X recognized Helmenland's independence and withdrew its forces in 1782.  The newly independent country quickly descended into internal turmoil, and did not experience a peaceful transition of power for the first four decades of its existence due to frequent rebellions and military coups.  In addition, the central government fought a protracted series of [[War of the Helmish Interior|interconnected conflicts]] against indigenous tribes in the Helmish interior that lasted until 1811.  The country's political and economic situation stabilized somewhat during the 1810s under President [[Ville Järvinen]], who ushered in a period of industrialization and economic growth that lasted into the middle of the 19th century.  The [[Panic of 1845]] interrupted Helmenland's economic expansion, leading to a [[1845 Helmish coup d'état|military takeover]] led by General [[Teemu Mäkelä]].  Mäkelä's regime stabilized the nation' economy, but failed to revive the explosive growth of previous decades.  In 1878, Helmenland was forced to cede [[Sokerinsaari]] and [[Myrskysatama]] to X after nearly two years of [[First Helmish–X War|war]], resulting in the collapse of Mäkelä's regime.
-The country remained under civilian rule through the turn of the century, experiencing a second economic boom that turned Helmenland into one of the wealthiest nations in !America and attracted significant numbers of new immigrants from Euclea.  As a consequence of its rapid economic growth, the [[Recession of 1924]] hit Helmenland particularly hard.  The crash resulted in a breakdown of the nation's institutions, plunging it into a prolonged and destructive [[Helmish Civil War|civil war]].  The country emerged from the conflict in 1930 under the rule of President [[Risto Saari]], a populist who introduced reforms to benefit the working class.  Helmenland joined the [[Y Powers]] during the [[Great War (Teleon)|Great War]] as a consequence of its alliance with [[Darona]], successfully repatriating Sokerinsaari and Myrskysatama from X at the end of the conflict.  Saari remained in power for several years after the war, until he was [[1944 Helmish coup d'état|overthrown]] by a group of dissident military officers in 1944.  A succession of military regimes, punctuated by brief and unstable periods of civilian rule, continued until the current [[Constitution of Helmenland|constitution]] was adopted in 1979.  During the 1980s and 90s, a series of [[Liberal Democratic Party|Liberal Democratic]] administrations introduced {{wp|Neoliberalism|neoliberal}} policies that [[Miracle of Helmenland|reinvigorated the economy]], and today the nation ranks among the wealthiest in !America.
-Modern Helmenland is a {{wp|Developed country|developed country}}, boasting a {{wp|High-income economy|high-income economy}} that ranks highly in measures of {{wp|Human Development Index|human development}}, {{wp|Economic freedom|economic freedom}}, and {{wp|Standard of living|standard of living}}.  The nation is a regional leader in sociopolitical stability, with low perceived corruption and strong democratic institutions.  Helmenland is a founding member of the [[World Community]], [[X]], and [[X]], and has taken an increasingly active role in the international community since the late 20th century.  Due to its rapidly growing influence on the world stage, Helmenland is frequently considered to be an {{wp|Emerging power|emerging}} {{wp|Great power|great power}}.
